Bos, Boswellia (frankincense): Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Boswellia is an herbal extract from the Boswellia serrata tree that may help reduce inflammation.
May help with rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and cancer.
-Naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoids include ursolic acid (UA), oleanolic acid (OA), betulinic acid (BetA), bosewellic acid (BA), Asiatic acid (AA), α-amyrin, celastrol, glycyrrhizin, 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid, lupeol, escin, madecassic acid, momordin I, platycodon D, pristimerin, saikosaponins, soyasapogenol B, and avicin
Boswellia refers to a group of resinous extracts obtained from Boswellia trees (e.g., Boswellia serrata). Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, Boswellia is reputed for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunomodulatory properties. Its bioactive components—such as boswellic acids.
-Anti-inflammatory Activity (blocking the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase) 5LOX↓,.
-AKBA used to reduce Methionine ***** (help in Methionine reduced diet)
Boswellia extracts are often administered in doses ranging from 300 mg to 1,200 mg per day

AKBA (Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid) is a bioactive compound derived from Boswellia serrata, a plant used traditionally for its anti-inflammatory properties. (upto 30% AKBA in Boswellia MEGA AKBA)
AKBA also available in Inflasanum @ 90% AKDA (MCSformulas)

MMPs, Matrix metalloproteinases: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Family of zinc-dependent proteolytic enzymes that play a key role in degrading the extracellular matrix (ECM).; are metalloproteinases that are calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases;[1] other family members are adamalysins, serralysins, and astacins. The MMPs belong to a larger family of proteases known as the metzincin superfamily.[2]
MMP secretion: matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) is a kind of enzymes secreted.
by tumor cell to degrade ECM, facilitating the migration of tumor cells.

MMPs are generally considered protumorigenic due to their role in promoting tumor invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. They facilitate the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, allowing cancer cells to invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant sites.

- Review, Var, NA
Inflam↓, BA has been shown to be effective against chronic inflammation-driven diseases such as adjuvant or bovine serum albumin-induced arthritis, osteoarthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and ileitis, and galactosamine/endotoxin-induced hepa
TumCCA↑, BA induced apoptosis was mediated by cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase and by activating caspases 3, 8 and 9 in HT-29 cells
Casp3↑,
Casp8↑,
Casp9↑,
STAT3↑, BA inhibited the growth of multiple myeloma cells by suppression of STAT3 pathway and by activation of protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP1
SHP1↓,
NF-kB↓, BA down regulated the expression of NF-kB, cyclin D1, COX2, Ki-67, CD-31 and IAPs in the tumor tissue.
cycD1↓,
COX2↓,
